Blithewold Mansion & Gardens
Located on Narragansett Bay, Blithewold is one of the finest garden estates in New England. Your exploration of Blithewold will include diverse gardens, specimen trees, and a 45-room English style manor house, all chronicling the rich social history of the lives of one family over a span of more than 80 years.

First floor is wheelchair accessible. There is no elevator inside the mansion to lead to 2nd floor. Benches are located throughout the grounds.

Comfortable walking shoes and weather appropriate attire are highly recommended for touring the gardens and grounds. Also note that the house is not air-conditioned but on warm days the breeze off the bay keeps the mansion quite comfortable.


Rosecliff
Commissioned by Nevada silver heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs in 1899, architect Stanford White modeled Rosecliff after the Grand Trianon, the garden retreat of French kings at Versailles. After the house was completed in 1902, at a reported cost of $2.5 million, Mrs. Oelrichs hosted fabulous entertainments here, including a fairy tale dinner and a party featuring famed magician Harry Houdini.

Rosecliff is a guided tour on the 1st floor with a 5 minute presentation/overview on the 2nd floor; the remaining time spent on the 2nd floor is self-guided.
